Like a warm jamaican breeze, the reggae pop of Hollie Cook is an uplifting, rum-tasting chill of soft crooning, beats and strums - think a young Sade crossed with Lily Allen - that transports you to a warmer paradise, far from the grey concrete of her West London home.
Hollie started her career acting, singing and modelling but left her performance arts schooling behind her to embrace her punk rock roots: her dad is Sex Pistol Paul Cook.
She then hooked up with family friend Ari Up of the Slits, to sing backing vocals, ditch school to tour and record on the female punk icon's album in LA - even penning the song Cry.
Just a teen, Hollie's also clocked some impressive collaborations - including Jamie T, Ian Brown, and the underground reggae hit Millk and Honey from Mike Pellanconi/Prince Fatty.
She describes her sound as 'tropical pop' - inspired by reggae singers Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon, plus 60s girl groups. Hollie's self titled debut is out now and she plays the Jazz Cafe on November 10.
Hollie's brewed the soundtrack to an endless summer: listen up and take a sip...
